현재 우리나라는 보건소 중심의 예방접종등록사업을 진행 중에 있다. 2004년부터 시작된 이 사업은 현재는 전국민을 대상으로 실시하고 있다. 예방접종등록사업은 피접종자들은 대체적으로 예방접종에 대한 적절한 시기를 판단할 수 있는 정보가 부족하기 때문에 예방접종과 관련된 정보들을 국가나 사회에서 적시에 피접종자들에게 제공해 줄 수 있다. 따라서 이에 대한 확인이 등록에 앞서 그 정확성을 확인 필요가 있다. 예방접종등록사업의 가장 기본적인 사업으로 진행된 것은 예방접종 수첩의 제공과 그 관리를 통한 예방접종 사업으로 지속적으로 전개되어 왔으며, 일반 국민과 개원의사들에서도 대중적으로 보급되어 있다. 국가 예방접종률의 산출 그리고 취학 어린이 예방접종력 증명서 제출 제도를 위하여 예방접종 수첩을 활용하는 방법이 현실적으로 유용할 수 있다. 따라서 예방접종 수첩의 예방접종력 정확성을 확인할 필요가 있다. 지역조사에서 접종기관으로 확인된 민간 의료기관 365곳 가운데 의료기관 이전 및 폐업으로 반송된 경우가 4건(1.1%)이었으며, 응답한 경우는 129곳으로 응답률은 35.3%였다. 조사된 의료기관 전체를 대상으로 확인된 1,201건에 대한 BCG 접종여부의 정확도는 69.5%였다. B형 간염의 정확도는 1차가 41.3%로 낮았으며, 2차와 3차는 각각 76.6%, 79.7%였다. DTaP의 정확도는 약 80%였으며, 정확도가 제일 높은 것은 DTaP 3차로 82.5%였으나 다른 것과 가장 낮은 정확도와 2% 정도 밖에 차이가 나지 않았다. 폴리오의 정확도는 약 80%였다. MMR의 정확도는 83.2%였다. 일본뇌염의 경우 약 80.0%였으며, 수두의 정확도는 74.9%로 다른 질병과 비교하여 낮은 수치를 보였다. 조사된 의료기관을 전체로 한 기타예방접종별 예방접종수첩의 접종여부의 정확도는 인플루엔자는 정확도는 74.1%였으며, 뇌수막염은 72.7%의 정확도를 보였다. A형 간염 1차의 정확도79.5%였으며, 폐렴구균 1차의 경우 73.2%로 나타났다. 국가필수예방접종별 예방접종수첩의 접종일자에 대한 정확도는 BCG 80.1%로 확인되었고, B형 간염 1차 89.7% 2차는 82.1% 3차는 79%로 B형 간염 중 가장 낮은 정확도를 보였다. DTaP는 1차와 2차는 약 87% 3차는 85.1% 4차는 83.5%로 확인이 되었다. 폴리오는 1차가88.1%로 가장 높은 정확도를 보였고 그 다음으로 2차가 86.2%, 3차가 84.8%로 확인되었다. MMR의 정확도는 84%였으며, 일본뇌염 1차의 정확도는 83.1%로 나타났다. 수두의 접종일자 정확도는 83.7% 이고, 인플루엔자의 정확도는 55.3%로 상대적으로 낮은 수치를 보였다. 기타예방접종별 접종일자 정확도의 조사 결과 뇌수막염 1차과 폐렴구균 1차는 약 90%로 상대적으로 높은 정확도를 보였고, A형 간염 1차는 88.4%의 정확도를 보였다.

The aims of this study were to survey, evaluate the accuracy of personal immunization record of vaccination card, and to establish the applicability of personal immunization record for presuming population based immunization rate and evaluation method. In 2005, a population-based survey of 12-35 months old children was carried out in Nonsan, Korea. We conducted household survey and provider check using questionnaire and checklist to obtain data on immunization status for children. Total 11 vaccinations were checked in vaccination card such as BCG, hepatitis b, polio, chickenpox vaccine. For estimating accuracy of immunization status and dates of immunization, we estimated correspondence rate between data from personal vaccination card and data from medical records and immunization registry data. Accuracy of the child's vaccination card by type of National Immunization Program vaccine in whole medical institutions were from 41.8% to 83.2%. Accuracy for the date of vaccination of vaccination card in National Immunization Programme vaccine were from 55.3% to 89.7%. In spite of this study limitations, this study verified the validity of vaccination record of vaccination card substantially, but suggests more efforts to reassure the validity of vaccination card.

Purpose: This study was aimed at investigating the relationship between retention of the maternal child health handbook, awareness of DPT additional immunization and DPT additional immunization, and to provide basic information to enhance the DPT additional immunization rate. Method: The study subjects were 312 women whose children were between four and six years old, and residing in six provinces of Gyungsangnam do. Data was collected with a 10 item questionnaire by interviews from July 1st to 30th, 2003, and analyzed with descriptive statistics and X2 test at a significance level of 0.05, by two tailed test. Results: The awareness of DPT additional immunization was significantly higher in the women who retained the maternal child health handbook, than their counterparts. The rate of DPT additional immunization was significantly higher in the women who were aware of the DPT additional immunization or who retained the maternal child health handbook, than their counterpart. Conclusion: The DPT additional immunization rate was related to retention of the maternal child health handbook and awareness of DPT additional immunization. Therefore it is recommended that measures be developed and taken to increase the retention rate of the maternal child health handbook and awareness of DPT additional immunization, to enhance the rate of DPT additional immunization.

Purpose : This study was carried out to obtain the vaccination rate and age appropriateness of vaccination in children under five years of age in Jeonbuk province. Methods : Eight hundred and fifty infants and children were enrolled in this study. Vaccination rate(Number of vaccinees/Number of subjects), places of vaccination, age appropriateness of vacination were examined by either vaccine record review or interview with parents or guardians. Results : The salient features of the findings were as follows : All subjects were aged under five and mostly under two years of age(68.8%). Places of vaccination were health centers or subcenters( 50.4%), private clinics(44.3%), and general hospitals(5.3%). Routine vaccinations such as BCG, hepatitis B vaccine(HBV), diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis(DTaP) and Trivalent Oral Polio Vaccine(TOPV), measles, mumps, rubella(MMR), and Japaneses B encephalitis(JBE) were vaccinated mostly in health centers or subcenters, while chickenpox(CHP) and haemophilus influenzae vaccines(Hib), which are not routine in Korea, were vaccinated in private clinics. The vaccination rates of BCG(99.2%), HBV(93.5%) and DTaP(96.1%) were very high. But those of MMR(83.7%), CHP(72.5%), JBE(50.2%), and Hib(15.8%) were lower than expected. Considering the age appropriateness of vaccination, some infants and children were not appropriately vaccinated(vaccination rate/age appropriateness of vaccine; HBV, 93.5%/88.4% : DTaP, 94.6%/73.1% : JBE, 50.2%/ 18.5%). Conclusion : The vaccination rate of BCG, HBV, DTaP and TOPV was very high, but MMR, CHP, JBE, and Hib vaccination rate was not high enough to be able to protect against epidemic. We should pay more attention to vaccinating children, and there is a need for a program that will enhance coverage for vaccines.

Objectives: Understanding the predictor of immunization status in childhood is critical issue to improve National Immunization Program (NIP). The aims of this study were to verify the status of up-to-date or complete immunization coverage and to investigate its related factors. Methods: As of 2005, according to local residence registry data, there were 2,188 children who aged 12 to 35 months in Nonsan city, Korea. We conducted household survey for aged 12 to 35 months children, using questionnaires to obtain data on the status of immunization such as BCG, DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis), Polio, and MMR (mump, measles, rubella). Finally 1,472 participated in the survey. The operating definitions used in this study were following; "Complete immunization rate" refers to the rate of children who received all immunization within recommended age intervals fully "on-time"; "The 4:3:1 series" means status of receiving the fourth diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (4 DTP), the third Polio (3 Polio), and the first measles-mumps-rubella (1 MMR) doses. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to determine factors affecting complete vaccination coverage of children. Results: Immunization rates of vaccine based on the vaccination card were from 92.7% to 96.4% except 4th DTaP (79.3%). Complete immunization rate of Korea NIP was 74.0% and that of the 4:3:1 series was 77.1%. A parent as primary caregiver (OR 0.59, 95% CI 0.39-0.87 at 19-35 months of children's age) and first-born children (OR 1.79, 95% CI 1.05-3.03 at 24-35 months of children's age) were significantly related to complete immunization coverage of Korea NIP. And a parent as primary care giver (OR 0.58, 95% CI 0.38-0.88 at 19-35 months of children's age) and first-born children (OR 1.94, 95% CI 1.21-3.14 at 19-35 months, OR 2.23, 95% CI 1.27-3.91 at 24-35 months of children's age) were significantly related to complete immunization rate of 4:3:1 series. Conclusions: Government should take actions to increase complete immunization rate. In particular, intervention on the secondary caregiver and non-first-born children should be needed.

Purpose : In this study, we created a questionnaire and collected answers concerning actual conditions of vaccination and parents' knowledge of vaccination issues, in order to find false knowledge of patients. We tried to give correct information and suggested the role of the pediatrician. Methods : We made questionnaires and collected answers from 466 parents from March 2004 to June 2004. Results : Places of vaccination were pediatric clinics(49.4 percent), health centers(27.7 percent), general/university hospitals(15.0 percent) and other clinics(4.9 percent). We found 38.8 percent of parents thought that the reason for vaccination at pediatric clinics was a belief of speciality, even though there is no difference in the vaccination itself. We also found 15.0 percent of parents thought that there were no differences between pediatricians and other physicians, but 52.0 percent of parents wanted to receive vaccination at pediatric clinics in the future. Our study also found that 62.4 percent of parents wanted to make out a preliminary questionnaire for vaccination. Many parents got vaccination information from vaccination record books(57.9 percent), and 52.6 percent of parents incorrectly believed that Hib vaccination could prevent all kinds of meningitis. Conclusion : Our study suggests that pediatricians need to make efforts to give out correct information. It is necessary to use preliminary questionnaires for vaccination and correct vaccination information should be written on the vaccination record book. Also, there needs to be counselling with parents about weaning, growth and development at the time of vaccination, and to point out the differences between pediatricians and other physicians.

Recently we published new edition of 'child & Adolescent health record book' considering easy usability and introduction of new vaccines. This record book has essential and important contents for caring our children and adolescents. Currently many people use various vaccination record books with wrong and poor contents. We suggest the campaign that every pediatrician must give our well made record book to these people. This campaign can give their children an opportunity for proper vaccination and medical checkup. Ultimately through this campaign, the role and importance of pediatrician in the fields of vaccination and bring up children and adolescents will be recognized. We trust that the better record book can be made with continuous interest and active advice of all Korean Pediatric Society members about the contents and usability of this book.
